Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 9, 2011, Visualant, Inc. (“Visualant” or the “Company) announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Susan Winston Diamond Marketing Company (“Winston Diamond”).


Visualant has developed and is commercializing proprietary patented and patent-pending technology which uses controlled illumination with specific bands of light, to establish a unique spectral signature for both individual and classes of items. When matched against existing databases, these spectral signatures allow precise identification and authentication or diagnostics of any item or substance. This breakthrough optical sensing and data capture technology is called Spectral Pattern Matching (“SPM”).


Winston Diamond, through its President, Susan Winston has extensive relationships and experience in the grading of and the global marketplace for investment grade jewels.


The parties expect to exploit the SPM technology as a certification and grading tool for jewels, including, but not limited to diamonds, colored gemstones and pearls. The Company will be paid a fee per carat of each diamond graded and certified by the SPM technology.
